Dropped off at the Premier Inn on the Colwyn Rd. Crossed the road and walked approx. 200m to the first style (Swing Gate). Followed the path which in places descends before reclimbing. When near to the sea cliffs just before it descends turn left thru the bracken and gorse. Follow the path between two small trees and cairn will meet you at the summit. Great views and approx. 35 mins up and 20 mins down.Symon1p23/09/2020
